Brawls have broken out inside South Africa’s parliament after opposition MPs were thrown out of the chamber during President Jacob Zuma’s State of the Nation address. <br /><br /> Zuma was repeatedly stopped from speaking by opposition members, notably those from the radical Economic Freedom Fighters Party and its firebrand leader Julius Malema. <br /><br /> Addressing Zuma, Malema said: “Sitting in front of us here is a man who is incorrigible, an incorrigible man. Rotten to the core. And that has been found by the constitutional Court.”<br /><br /> Eventually ordered to leave by the speaker, there were violent scenes as security teams moved in to eject the EFF’s red clad members. <br /><br /> There was also chaos outside parliament in Cape Town as riot police clashed with government and opposition supporters. <br /><br /> Ahead of the annual event, Zuma angered some MPs by deploying more than 400 troops to maintain law and order in parliament on the day. <br /><br /> South Africa’s president has faced countless calls to step down following allegations of corruption and cronyism, as well as his handling of the economy.<br />
